Bath & Body Works Joyful Wishes

This frothy set of sugary bath and body treats will thrill anyone who wants a hint of a sweet scent.

I personally have a love/hate relationship with Vanilla Bean Noel: I delight in its sugary goodness but tire of it quickly. That said, it has an almost cult-like following and a devoted fan base that cannot get enough of its vanilla bean, caramel and cream notes.

This caddy totes a perfectly portioned dose of the fragrance – it includes a hand soap and body lotion, a great way to savor its sweet scent without overloading your senses.

Bath & Body Works Joyful Wishes is available from Bath & Body Works for $15.

Stila Holiday Smudge Pot Collection

I am obsessed with this adorable family of petite Smudge Pots!

The collection contains small sizes of Stila Smudge Pot bestsellers Black and Kitten and newcomers Violet (pretty purple with shimmer) and Starry Night (bold deep blue with shimmer). I am SO excited to try Starry Night, as I’ve never been able to resist a beautiful blue liner.

This set is a great way to dabble in some fun new liner shades without breaking the bank. Bonus: The smaller pots also mean it’s more likely you’ll use up all the liner before it dries out!

Stila Holiday Smudge Pot Collection is available from Stila for $32.

Prescriptives Holiday Cool Refillable Cheek & Eye Palette

The loss of Prescriptives is palpable with the realization this is the last Holiday cheek and eye palette I will ever purchase – say it isn’t so!

These palettes have long been a holiday hit in my house, and I am devastated to see them go.

This year’s rendition includes Pink Plum and Rosette cheek colors and 6 eye colors: Blackberry, Storm, Chiffon, Plum Smoke, Orchid and Sweet Chocolate, each embossed with a sweet snowflake. The refillable compact also includes a dual-ended brush.

Prescriptives Holiday Cool Refillable Cheek and Eye Palette is available from Nordstrom for $45.
